- the grid contact pads 37 are in contact, via their lower faces, with the upper face of the grid 31.
- the body region 23 extends laterally, beyond the source 19 and drain 21 regions, by a body contact recovery region 23b flush with the upper face of the active layer 17.

- the interconnection network comprises, for example, several stacked metallization levels, separated two by two by insulating levels which are themselves crossed by metal vias.
- the production of the interconnection network may include plasma etching and mechanical-chemical planarization steps capable of generating parasitic electrical charges which are likely to be trapped at the interfaces between the body region 23 and the insulating layers 15 and 25. More particularly, the plasmas used to carry out the engravings are generated from high electrical voltages. The etching process is thus carried out under conditions of significant electric fields which is likely to cause the introduction of charges parasites in body region 23. In addition, mechano-chemical planarization processes can generate parasitic charges by electro-friction type mechanisms. The accumulation of these parasitic charges undesirably modifies the electrical properties of the transistor 11. This problem of injecting parasitic charges at the interfaces with the layers 15 and/or 25 arises particularly when producing the metallization level(s).
- upper parts of the interconnection network generally relatively thick, for example with a thickness of between 1 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m, for example of the order of 3 ⁇ m to 6 ⁇ m.
- it is planned to form, before the production of higher metallization levels of the interconnection network of the device, a conduction path between the body region 23 of the transistor 11 and the semiconductor substrate 13 of the SOI structure, so as to create an evacuation path for parasitic charges and avoid their trapping at the interfaces with the layers 15 and 25 delimiting the body region 23.

- transistor 111 is similar to transistor 11 illustrated in figures 1A, 1B , 1C and 1D .
- these elements will not be detailed again below.
- Device 2 of Figures 2A and 2B differs from device 1 of figures 1A, 1B , 1C and 1D essentially in that, in the mode of realization of the Figures 2A and 2B , the device 2 comprises a conductive via 41 or VTB (from the English "Via Through Box") extending vertically through the active layer 17 (more particularly, in the example shown, through an insulating region 25 crossing the active layer 17) and the buried insulating layer 15 and opening into or on and in contact with the upper face of the semiconductor substrate 13.
- VTB from the English "Via Through Box”
- the body region 23 of the transistor 11 is connected, preferably connected, to the semiconductor substrate 13 by the conductive via 41. More particularly, in this example, the body region 23 and the semiconductor substrate 13 are connected, preferably connected, electrically, via the contact pad 39 and the conductive via 41.
- the contact pad 39 and the conductive via 41 are connected, preferably connected, to each other, for example directly, by a metal track 43, for example in copper.
- the metal track 43 is in contact, mechanically and electrically, via its lower face, with the upper face of the body contact pad 39 and with the upper face of the conductive via 41.
- the metal track 43 is for example example a track of the first metallization level M1 (corresponding to the lowest level) of the interconnection network formed on the side of the upper face of the device.
- the conductive via 41 is for example isolated laterally from the active layer 17.
- the conductive via 41 is formed facing a part of the SOI structure in which the active layer 17 has previously been removed and replaced by a material dielectric, for example silicon dioxide (for example at the same time as the insulating trenches 25 are formed).
- the conductive via 41 has a width greater than the width of the contact pad 39.
- the conductive via 41 has, for example, a width of between 10 nm and 300 nm, for example between 50 nm and 200 nm, for example of the order of 150 nm.
- the conductive via 41 is, for example, made of a metallic material, for example identical to the material of the contact pads 27, 29, 37 and/or 39, for example made of tungsten.
- the conductive via 41 is, for example, located in the vicinity of the body contact pad 39.
- the conductive via 41 is formed in the insulation region 25 (as illustrated in Figures 2A and 2B ) laterally delimiting transistor 111.
- the conductive vias 41 can be shared. That is to say that a via conductor 41 can be common to several transistors 111, for example, neighboring ones. In other words, the same conductor via 41 can allow the evacuation of charges accumulated in and around several transistors 111, for example neighboring ones.
- the body contact pads 39 of said transistors are electrically connected together, for example by metal tracks of the lower level(s) of the interconnection network.
- the device may include a specific via conductor 41 per transistor.
- the conductive via 41 is, for example, formed between a step of forming a pre-metallic dielectric (not detailed in the figures) on the upper face of the active layer 17 and of the gate 31 and steps of forming the levels metallization of the interconnection network of the device.
- the formation of the conductive via 41 comprises a step of forming an opening through the insulating trench 25.
- the formation of the conductive via 41 comprises a step of forming an opening through the dielectric pre-metallic, the active layer 17 and possibly the buried insulating layer 15.
- the step of forming the opening is followed by a step of filling the opening with the material of the conductive via 41.
- the formation of the body contact pad 39 comprises for example a step of forming an opening through the pre-metallic dielectric, followed by a step of filling the opening with the material of the pad 39.
- the opening of the body contact pad 39 and the opening of the conductive via 41 are for example carried out successively during distinct photolithography steps.
- the opening of the conductive via 41 is, for example, carried out before the opening of the contact pad 39.
- the filling of the conductive via 41 and the filling of the contact pad 39, with a conductive material are for example carried out simultaneously after the steps formation of the openings, in a single metal deposition step followed, for example, by a mechanical-chemical planarization step.
- the conductive track 43 can then be formed on and in contact with the upper face of the via 41 and the contact pad 39.
- the body region 23 of the transistor 111 is electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate 13 via via 41.
- the upper metallization levels of the interconnection stack can then be formed.
- the conductive via 41 allows the evacuation of parasitic charges generated, in the body region 23 of the transistor, during the manufacturing steps of the upper metallization levels of the interconnection network of the device.
- the conductive via 41 also allows the evacuation of charges created during other stages of the manufacturing process such as stages of sawing, grinding, etc. This makes it possible to very significantly limit the trapping of parasitic charges at the interfaces between the body region 23 of the transistor 111 and the insulating layers 15 and/or 25.
- the substrate 13 can be electrically connected to a reference potential, for example ground, or in contact with a conductive metal support forming a ground plane.
- the via conductor 41 can be made outside the active part of the transistor, the size of a transistor is therefore not increased.
- the manufacturing of the conductive via 41 is compatible with the usual manufacturing processes for transistors.
